Adam Goodes with ostrich legs

I find that a little surprising.

While if Jurrah becomes a player of Goodes' ilk I'll be over the moon, but Goodes doesn't seem to be a player who does freakish things with the ball, something many often comment on with Jurrah.

    He is a mix between Brent Grgic, Donald Cockatoo Collins and Simon Godfrey.

    Exciting times.

    Robbo, on SEN this morning when asked about Liam said something like "He's got great speed, go-go gadget arms and a terrific leap. I don't mean to put any pressure on the kid but he'll be the next Buddy Franklin and the saviour of our club"

    no no robbo, that would not put any pressure on the kid we are supposed to be sheltering from getting freaked out and running away haha

    aaahh I only heard a part of that snippet from Robbo, I thought he was reffering to Watts. Didn't he then say he is only 18.. blah blah blah.. saviour of the club Mousey or did I miss the boat completely?

    Chinese whispers.

    If I recall correctly Robertson said that Jurrah reminds him of Buddy and that he really hopes he stays at the MFC. He said he was 6'3", can run, jump, and can take a big mark, but he then tried to play the comparison down. It was the interviewers who leapt on it and in a jocular fashion used the term "Saviour", not Robertson.

    Either way, it was good to hear his enthusiasm.

    yeah sorry guys i didnt hear the snippet but just saw someone post it on ology and thought it was post worthy.

    Im hoping Jurrah makes his debut in the next month or so.

    I have seen Jurrah running around Jells Park; he is deceptively tall, always seems to be slightlly hunched over, and joeboy is right on the mark with the crack about ostrich legs.

    Robbo was the one joking around. He said he didn't want to put any pressure on the kid, but he reminds him of Lance Franklin.

    Then he joked that he will be the saviour of the club.

    It was all in jest.

    Truthful, crystalball-like foretelling of the future, jest?

    I'm pretty sure Bailey said he was 191cm.

    Coaches and players are often not so hot on this sort of stuff. Bell and McKenzie are both popularly-billed at 186cm.

    They stand each side of Jurrah in the team photo. You be the judge. He's taller than both but not by much, I'd guess

    a maximum of 3 cm, so he's 189 cm at best.

    So it's 189cm on a bad hair day. Settled.

    edit: - Newton's beady eyes freak me out. Looks like a puppet.

    I heard that on SEN this morning. Those statements make this bleak year liveable. Keep Training & learning Master Jarrah. I hope to see your Potential in front of a Packed MCG in Late September in the not to distant Future.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
